Atl. Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction & Tips
On the previous matchday, Diego Simeone’s side secured a dramatic victory in the capital derby against Rayo Vallecano (2-1). It was only Atlético’s second win of the season, but it extended their unbeaten run in LaLiga to five games. However, the Colchoneros tend to settle for draws, which prevents them from climbing higher than eighth place.
At home, Atlético tend to thrive: they have won six of their seven most recent matches at the Metropolitano. In addition, the Rojiblancos are on a remarkable scoring streak, having scored in eight consecutive league matches. On the other hand, defensive problems and injuries to their midfielders are forcing Simeone to seek balance.
For their part, Xabi Alonso’s side had no trouble overcoming Levante last time out (4-1), extending their incredible run of consecutive victories in the Primera to nine. Real remain the only team not to have dropped points this season, and their goal difference is one of the best in the league. In addition, the Whites’ defence is close to perfection: they have conceded only three goals in six games.
